Friend of Mine
TheNotoriousBIG Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now when I'm fucking off gin I'm invincible
Don't love no ho, that's my principle
Cause uh, bitches come [and uh] bitches go
That's why I get my nut and I be out the fucking door
[You know] they might be the one to set me up
Want to get they little brother to wet me up
That's why I tote Tecs and stuff to get them off my case
Just in case the little fucker ends up misplaced
I don't give a bitch enough to catch the bus
And when I see the semen I'm leaving
Bitches be scheming, I kid you not
That's why I keep my windows locked and my Glock cocked
One ho said, "Big, why you so hard on us?
Why you swear all bitches are so scandalous?"
Thug nigga until the end, tell a friend bitch
Cause when I like you, then you go and fuck my friend bitch
(And you know that ain't right)

You know that ain't right, with a friend of mine

You see, I don't sweat these hoes
I keep them in flavors like Timbos and Girbauds
Bitches just like to play the merry-go
It was me, Dee, the MPV
The blunts and brew thang, knocking some Wu-tang
M-E-T-H-Oh shit, look at them lips and them hips on that bitch
Dee hit the dip, so I can drop my mackadocious shit
Light the blunt clip, and recognize a pimp
Needless to speak, the G's obsolete
Don't sleep, banged the skins in a week
On the creep up the avenue
I seen her on the block, who she rapping to?
That's my nigga Dee, damn he got G
Now she fucking him and fucking me, see
You know that ain't right

You know that ain't right, with a friend of mine

Uh now I play her far like a moon play a star
She still sweat me hard cause I'm a rap star
I be cruising up the block, I be passing her
Pimping hard with the female passenger
And the only time I call her to hang
Is when me and Dee blunted up, pissy, scheming on a gang-bang
She should have used her intuition
Then she wouldn't be classified in that position, listen
She's saying I dissed her cause I'm fucking her sister
A message to the fellas, that really gets them pissed, uh
But she started that fucking family
She fucked my man Dee, so why she mad at me? (True)
Plus your sister look better than you
Give head better than you, pussy get wetter than you




So break the fuck out like a rash
I'm glad I ain't spend no cash to hit your nasty ass

Overall Meaning

In "Friend of Mine," The Notorious B.I.G. discusses his lack of trust in women and his ideas about relationships. He argues that he does not get involved with women emotionally, for fear they might plot against him. He says he keeps his windows locked and his gun loaded because he never knows when someone might come after him. The chorus expresses the betrayal he feels after discovering that a friend has slept with the same woman he has.


The verses focus on specific encounters with women. In the first, he explains that his priority is not to love any particular woman but to protect himself. He also intimates that he has little respect for women in general, knowing what they are capable of. In the second verse, he tells a story of a woman who had sex with him and his friend at the same time, and then she gets upset when she sees him with her sister. He responds by insulting her and bragging about how much better her sister is. The song ends with a recurring sentiment that things are not right when friends break the code of sleeping with the same person.

[Intro: The Notorious B.I.G.]
No, fuck the bitches, fuck all the stank-ass hoes

For sure. Many people consider it to be unnessecary and one of the worst from Ready to Die, but it's in my Top 5 Biggie songs. It's just so fun and good vibes, great & simple beat too
